Since these were designed for USPCC, does this mean they will be available in major retailers?

You are correct.

[Shebhnt]

That is awesome!    

[JacksonRobinson]

I'm very excited as well. Also I will be producing a small run of 1500 Limited Edition Decks that will not be available through USPC's distribution channels and sold exclusively on my website. It has been an incredible experience working with the corporate team at USPCC. I'm also excited to say that this deck has turned out awesome, and you guys will NOT be disappointed with it.

That is INCREDIBLY good news!

Do you have any idea how many decks you're going to make for the series, or will that be decided later?

There will be two deck in the Civil War series. The Blue North Deck and a Red South Deck.

Super cool, looking forward to it.  Hopefully you will have details on what courts will look like and some teasers soon?  <nudge>

Nice theme.

[Jamm Pakd Cards]

Looking good!

To quote the commercial, "Awesome sauce!"

I can't wait to see more!

From the looks of it I feel like USPCC said "How close can we get it to the Fed 52 design?"

I agree. It's just a guess but I would be willing to bet the courts have a Civil War paper money look to them.

Very, very cool design! Wide availability of the standards, and a limited edition for us collectors as well! Win-win! Thanks for that extra bonus!

diptych jokers -Pretty sweet!

[Magic_Orthodoxy]

everytime I see this deck I start singing....

I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war

However... I DO need these cards!

Jackson was kind enough to drop these in my inbox.  I can't wait to add these to the collection!!












Another home run for Kings Wild Project

I will have to go for the limited edition ones (not complaining!) as I'm fairly certain there isn't anywhere near me in UK where they will stock the others. Look really awesome Jackson!

[spindles]

Having just received the Independence decks, I find myself eager for yet another war!  (card style of course)

It would be awesome if Jackson kept going through the eras -- WWI, WWII. Or, maybe something could be done with presidents?

I love the sketched look (I'm sorry I don't know the real name of it) of the Civil War and Independence decks, but I'm not sure how well that would transfer to later eras. Hmm...

[Firdawesome]

These are now on sale at http://www.shopbicyclecards.com/. Club 808 members can buy blue and red uncut sheets at $20 each.

[BiggerDee]

Jackson, do you have a quick time frame for the release of the limited edition, or is that further down the road?

[ecNate]

As was pointed out to me earlier, you'll note this in the uncut description -  "Check back soon for sheets autographed by the artist.",  Hopefully that will be around the same time as the LE decks.

I already jumped on an uncut, but may consider getting signed as well if the price premium isn't silly.

So very excited to get these in hand.  As a single deck collector this is the most decks I've every bought (8 + uncut), in addition to collection mostly to play with and give away.  The super reasonable price made it a no brainer.

[JacksonRobinson]

Jackson, do you have a quick time frame for the release of the limited edition, or is that further down the road?

My Limited Edition Civil War Decks are being finished this week and will most likely ship next week. I then will have to hand apply all of the numbered seals like on the HIVE decks. If all goes as planned they will available exclusively on my website for immediate delivery on either Aug 9th or 13th. Bicycle and I wanted coordinate our releases around the same time.

FYI: They will not be $3.99 per deck though DANG! thats a good price I already picked up some off the site.
